I can taste the irony. Or maybe that's just blood
The last section of the comic kinda hits deep to me because that's exactly what happened once I worked up the nerve to leave Christianity. That was before I noticed the title, which just made it ironic.
"Flaired users only"
How very pro free speech they are!
There was literally a popup that I saw posted on here a little while ago from r/conservative that tells you essentially "this is a conservative safe space, difference of opinion is not welcome, we do not wish to have outsiders try to change our beliefs. This is for conservatives to discuss conservativism."
They're a fucking joke.
"Look at me, I'm the snowflake now."
They always have been
"Every accusation a confession" and all that.
And just like hexbears all their focus and attention go to liberals lmao. Same energy in both circles.
Which is why I said tankies are red fash. They are just fascists who took the aesthetic of socialism.
They can't discuss the problems with conservatism because it's too close to their favorite autocratic authoritarian hellholes and they may get disappeared for being a dissenter. Really talking shit on liberals is all they have in life. It's sad.

It's because a significant number of hexbears are right wing Poe's law trolls.
I think that's fair though. If you create a community for conservatives to speak to conservatives then that is who you want there. If you're in a community about skateboarding, you don't want to be inundated with people constantly saying that skateboarding is dumb.
(To give some context, I do happen to think conservatism is dumb, but I'm also able to see their point of view and why they would want private communities online. I have no opinions on skateboarding)
If your community consistently berates safe spaces, then making a safe space for your community is hypocritical.
"If you need a safe space, you're a special libtard snowflake who hates reality, logic, and free speech....
....... Now stay out of our safe space"
Safe spaces aren't bad, but any conservative who hangs out in one is loudly and openly admitting to the world that they believe anything they say and spout their garbage only to control and suppress those they don't like.
Are you upset at the hypocrisy or the concept itself?
Just the hypocrisy really
LOL, sooo close and then WHOOSH, totally missed the point
It touches on the core of how people become radicalized.
Yes it does, which is why it's ironic that it got posted in a conservative subreddit because this is exactly how conservatism works
Republican projection once again I see. They are nothing if not consistent (and predictable).
Coming from the "I did my own research" crowd this shit is mind boggling. Aren't they the ones disagreeing with the scientific community regularly?
Waking up as a conservative must be like
Oh boy time to look for credible information on Facebook!
Conservatives & strawman arguments go together like peanut butter & jelly.
And projection
Can confirm, pb & j & projection sandwiches are the bomb
I think the content speaks for itself. It's shit.
But let's talk about the typography: as someone who uses LaTeX, and irrationally hates bad typography, this one seems targeted. Look at the absolute state of the fourth panel! Ewwww. The river--- I just can't!
The content is great!
- the original comic is exactly why deprogramming cult members is hard: they recoil at the mere hint of a thought that the base of their community and identity might be wrong
- It's deeply ironic that deeply religious cult members like modern day US “conservatives” unironically post this comic
Damn this is a good one
this could work for liberals or conservatives
note i said liberals not leftists
LOL they keep trying to call their apologia 'research' in order to give it unwarranted respectability
Interestingly, it happens that when you don't know how to actually do research (like, can you interrogate your sources, put them in appropriate context, evaluate what they have to say critically?) you're more likely to land on disinformation sources or feed yourself confirmation bias than you would have been if you'd read what experts have to say on a given subject.
They posted about a study on "do your own research" today on Vice. Very interesting read.

There goes every doctoral thesis.
doctoral theses aren't researched with a google search.
That’s the joke.
I thought it was hilarious, for what it's worth.
